Everybody loves Community Updates, but that's a huge endeavour for one person to tackle. So let us try a little social experiment here: ''community written community update''. I posted an outlined list of bullet points, and left it to everybody else to elaborate along the following editorial guidelines:

−

* Include everything that was hot on a mailing lists at some point since launch.

−

* Limit each point to three sentences and one link.

Everybody loves Community Updates, but that's a huge endeavour for one person to tackle. So let us try a little social experiment here: community written community update. I posted an outlined list of bullet points, and left it to everybody else to elaborate along the following editorial guidelines:

Include everything that was hot on a mailing lists at some point since launch.

Power management: progress but still far from goal of autonomy in days (full discharge vs. forced load issue, LEDs and buttons use model still in flux, charging while off, fine-grained subsystems sleep...)
